Abstract: | We consider the cyclotron superradiation of a moving electron bunch under conditions of group synchronism when the forward velocity of the bunch is equal to the group velocity of the electromagnetic wave. It is shown that this mode of operation makes it possible to increase the increment of superradiant instability and raise the peak radiated power.Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Nizhny Novgorod.
